T'aint necessarily so. I ordered some premium grade Scanvik faucets and
shower set single knob mixer valves recently. Took one out of the box
and sent them all back. They did not look as well made as the Moen's I
can get at Home Despot for 1/3 less money. The only things I kept was
the shower wands because they have the locking button valve on the head.

But if you buy the marine units, you shouldn't need to replace them
every
decade or so - there is a reason why some stuff is expensive; it is
built for
its intended use.

If you have ever disasembled both you would have seen that the Moen is a
much more elegant solution to single knob mixers. About 1/3 the parts
of a Delta and considerably more reliable over the long term.

for low cost pumbing fixtures try the building materials recycle depot in
your area if there is one. I'm still using Galtmaster (heavy, durable,
long out of business) on my house. I rebuild from parts off the ones I
have and castoffs I pick up when neighbours reovate and at the depot. So
much of home renovations are because wives want to be fashionable. Waste
of good materials. My plumber likes old Galtmaster because he sells the
ones he removes to a scrap brass dealer.
